Therapist reacts to The Negative One by Slipknot

Therapist analyzes the lyrics of Slipknot's song "Negative One" to discuss how we all have pain living inside of us and the song calls us back to the choice of whether we are going to live our lives through that pain or if we are going to chose to live in alignment with our true, best selves. It's easy to point our fingers at others for causing our pain, but regardless of where the pain came from it is our responsibility to deal with its impact on us, and this song calls us to make the right choice.

Remember when this came out and we were all trying to figure out who the new drummer was. Now he’s gone too. Crazy!

[@planetviision9702]

Seriously bro 💔

[@levigriffin2984]

Sucks at first I didn't understand why...but overall I think it was because Jay was getting ready to go through the medical issues with his hip and leg..sucks dude was badass

[@planetviision9702]

@@levigriffin2984 pretty much did the same thing to Joey, RIP 🕊️

[@derochehope]

​@@levigriffin2984 thing is, jay is 1000% better now.

"No accountability, devisibility, I point the finger but it's always looking back at me". Such a good line.

[@djinn_jer]

Analysis: flawless Interpretation: doubtless Stinkface when Corey steps in: priceless 😂 Hope everyone has a great weekend 😀 Stay (sic) 🤘🏼

[@Zachthe504]

If rain is what you want is an amazing song. Love the channel and your explanations.

[@theplaguepadart3743]

Second this

[@hipformality]

THIRD THIS

[@dthompson4356]

This was an epic comeback for Slipknot. I believe this was the first single and I was blown away. I remember exactly where I was when I first heard it.

[@W1Kilo]

My laptop died listening to this lol.

[@babyracoon6493]

you should SO react to their older stuff, especially IOWA. That album is nothing but pure anger and emotion. But that is also the album where corey was the most messed up. (Highly recommend Metabolic, Everything ends, The Heretic Anthem and The shape.) Amazing reaction!!

[@cooktheogre]

Listening to you breakdown these songs is making me realize the person who introduced me to slipknot didn't pay any attention to it what so ever.

[@YaMumWasHere]

You will love "corey taylor - Snuff (acoustic version)"

[@ImaFrakkinNinja]

I almost never comment on videos, but I stumbled across your channel and hearing you speak about and interpret some of my favorite music in ways even after constant listens I didn't pick up on is crazy. You've actually helped me a ton in this single video; more than anything else that I've done...thank you.

[@VolBeat2412.]

I knew you will love this song haha, thank you so much for react to it 🤘🏼

[@jimmy_jarhead]

Yes my ex left me and yes she manipulated and lied and yes she shares a responsibility in destroying our family, but thats where it ends. How I handled it, how I sunk into depression and became something unrecognizable to myself was all on me. Makes me sad but now that I know...well...here we go!

[@wabsert9063]

You should react to diluted, Corey doesn’t want to sing that song live cuz it’s too emotional for him

[@dylanforrester3720]

I second that, or metabolic

[@josephdecarlo1262]

They will play on the 25th anniversary shows.

[@jamesgreer9366]

That song has gotten me through a lot of shit!!! And I mean a looooooooot!!!!

[@jasonhaynes26]

Anything off Iowa or self-titled is insanely powerful. Those albums literally changed my life.

[@Krongstein]

one of my absolute favs!! also love virus of life because its just too much!

[@thanks4theinvite]

Seen Slipknot a few times. They toured this album twice... On the second round they opened the show with this - was soooo good. An incredibly powerful track. Great reaction, thank you.

[@TheWillson87]

Loving these videos. Also sending love to Corey and respect for cancelling the North American tours to prioritise his Mental Health and family which would have been such a hard decision. Stay safe everyone and wishing everyone power and love. Happy weekend!

[@anthonycofrancesco7137]

I could watch you listen to Slipknot all day long. I love how much you genuinely understand and enjoy their music, and that stankface is the best! ❤

[@garyforestier1118]

Agreed. Her facial expressions and how much she's feeling those lyrics are awesome

[@winston6752]

First thing I noticed was the stank face, awesome 😂

[@seangrover6101]

You should check out Corey's acoustic show from London. The entire show is amazing. Most of the show is just him and his acoustic guitar, there are a few songs with an extra guitarist. I think you would really enjoy that show.

[@Objective_Piece8285]

I hope you react to Slipknot's Not Long For This World, not only an underrated song but the feelings it conveys of someone who is very depressed and suicidal is very strong and emotional.

[@skatapunk180]

I remember after my brother passed, this song popped up on a Playlist and it hit me like a brick fucking wall. I'm sure I had heard it before but the lyrics screamed at me this time, like he played it for me, and i stopped what i was doing and just listened. We both loved metal and slipknot. @heartsupport I'm loving these lyrics breakdowns. You are able to explain aspects of the meanings behind lyrics i couldn't have comprehended on my own. Thanks!

[@jamesrdelap]

I must say I love your videos and the way you deeply explain the lyrics. Slipknot is by far just favorite band and to hear you explain their lyrics it makes sense.

[@Warchild0311]

You need to go down a NIN rabbit hole next. Trent is very familiar with pain and suffering

[@fnxdown16]

I went down that rabbit hole a long time ago.

[@MrMason29]

YESS!!!! Another freaking awesome reaction ❤

[@gabrielsteindel5478]

You should react to Killpop from slipknot

[@tjboylan20]

This entire Album .5 The Grey Chapter is all of the Emotions that the band had after the death of Bassist Paul Grey, Hence “The Grey Chapter”

[@matturso2224]

Thank you, Taylor! (the therapist) This helped give me a breakthrough in my therapy! Healing through CPTSD and trauma is a definite daily struggle against the negative one and I.

[@Kristin709]

I love watching your reactions to these Slipknot videos, they are the best 😂😂🥰 I also find it amazing how quickly you analyze the songs and offer advice ❤

[@davidwood7738]

Hurt by Johnny Cash will make you cry. Klonopin by Adam Calhoun or Save Me by Jelly Roll

[@angieprassas5962]

She is so awesome interpreting this song love her!!!! 🙌🏻🫶 Shout out to Corey too & hope he is getting better!!

[@matturso2224]

Taylor, please do more Slipknot analysis! This is so helpful!!!

[@RussellBirch-i2e]

I've never been lucky enough to see Slipknot, but they're music has helped me through hell

[@rapidpower5651]

This is my personal best song from slipknot. My absolute favorite slipknot song, I love many others but this one hits different.

[@matturso2224]

It's genius! The part of the song that sounds like a siren and the drum beat just embodies anxiety and negativity into music. Amaziing sound design!

[@joegarcia1419]

You are on point, doing amazing things ❤

[@petekrohn4028]

I'd love to see reactions to some Mudvayne songs as well!

[@JMulvy]

This song is an absolute heavy banger. When you are ready to move beyond Slipknot, you should really check out "Hi Ren" by Ren.

[@gabrielislas6013]

Seeing a professional therapist react to slipknot was not in my plate today, but im glad i ended up in this channel. Keep it up!! 👍 ❤

[@jppinckley4873]

My favorite Slipknot song! Thank you for this one. I identify so hard with this one because it’s something I’ve struggled with for years.

[@AshsFool]

This has become my favorite Slipknot song 💯 Cardio Challenge 10,000+ 😂

[@terryrhodes07]

Thank you.. it's a good reminder

[@joehoward267]

Another great reaction, you should check out Suicidal Tendencies, How will I laugh tomorrow or Nobody Hears. Great band and never see anyone react. Look forward to more videos!

[@eduardolucas4434]

I loved this reaction. I think she was the only one or one of the few who really interpreted something from the song. Other people were like, "they're satanic" or "that's a dig at Joey." Waiting for Killpop and Skeptic's reaction

[@DasChainsaw]

I'd love to see a full review of the self titled album or Iowa! They are both fascinating to look at from a psychological stand point. Corey offers such raw emotion in those albums along with very real struggles within the lyrics. The albums came out when I had just become a teen and I connected most with Everything Ends and Diluted.

[@ianhamilton4772]

We,re all waiting anxiously for Killpop....that track is a fukn monster

[@jhonpcs]

Awesome analyssis as usual! Slipknot overdose... MORE MORE MORE!!!

[@grim7365]

“Diluted” - by SLIPKNOT next ❤❤❤❤ please!!

[@MNMNT_OG]

I love love love what you say around 3:30 onward, so good. They say hell is the separation from God, the light. Depression, Anxiety, self-hate is basically The Negative One, Satan, Lucifer who wants to keep us away from becoming our true and good self.

[@matturso2224]

When Corey says "Fuck, The Negative One and I" in a a bridge , I feel a space, a breath between the words "Fuck" and "The Negative One" like he's saying "Fuck the negative one!" It's like he's saying "Fuck that guy (The negative one in you)" and I resonated with that hard today! Today, I choose the mantra "Fuck the negative one in me. I am choosing self-power. Boundaries. I am not the lies people say of me. I take accountability. Responsibility. Hold onto what's mine to hold onto, and let go of whats not. I am not defined by what I think. I am not the negative one in me. The negative one in me influences me, but today is a new day. Today, Fuck the negative one!"

[@WoodysPickle]

My absolute favorite song on this album

[@sashaschoenneman3074]

I've been a huge Slipknot fan for a very long time honestly honestly I probably would have killed myself without their music the breakdown on this song is hitting me really hard in a really good way. I recently experienced a death in my family as well as learning that my step grandmother has held it in her mindset set my childhood molestation and Trauma has been a cry for attention my whole entire life. I've had to learn how to live with cptsd and this knowledge has ripped open so much scar tissue . Listening to this has helped me feel a little bit more empowered than I have in weeks. Thank you so much❤

[@HeartSupport]

From tromboness: @sashaschoenneman3074 I'm so glad that you've been able to find the strength to go on from this music. Your experiences of trauma are not easy. It can be despairing to have to go though what you've gone through, but you are strong for making it through this far. I hope that you continue to find the strength you need to survive and thrive, and if the feeling get to be too much, don't hesitate to reach out. Hold Fast.

[@Game43ver]

She totally digs it 😍

[@michaelmardling3152]

"This is the third song that really deals with the inner turmoil. And I know there's a misconception out there that it's about Joey, and it's just not. And I know people are very adamant in their opinion about it, and it's just not. It’s about trying to make sense of the whole ordeal, and the thing that I realized while writing these lyrics was that Paul's death made me see what I was taking for granted, and that I was spending a lot of energy on selfish needs. I had the choice between the negative me, or who I wanted to be. And I guess if one good thing came from a tragedy like this, it's that I was able to put everything in perspective and realize that I took this band and this life for granted." Corey Taylor

[@michaelrainbow4203]

The Poet and the Pendulum (Official Live) by Nightwish. Powerful song. Powerful performance. Much to analyze in that song. Enjoy.

[@rocketpig3086]

I swear, I Need this reminder every damn day

[@asarcasticbrick409]

The Contortionist’s album Clairvoyant is an emotional masterpiece. Not this heavy, at least musically, but well worth a listen (all of their stuff is, but Clairvoyant is special)

[@RCNL555]

I always new this song was referring to Satan, and is some kind of warning.. Thank you for breaking this down, as far as being the negative one in me, or being the genuine me... love this song sooo much more now. You have a special gift ma'am, please don't give up on this, you're probably helping more than you think, i know one person already. Please do more, especially with Slipknot.

[@BruneyJustin]

Like someone else said, if rain is what you want, also the burden are great songs from this album

[@David-rr4rr]

Thank you for what you do!

[@adrienmyguy]

absolutely love your videos, if you haven't done it already I would love for you to react to scissors from self titled, its one of my favourites :)

[@fnxdown16]

My life boiled down to a music video. We were supposed to get a Grammy for that one!!!

[@metalmacabre9991]

Why in the hell would slipknot getting a Grammy be a good thing? The Grammys are the least metal thing out there. Fuck the Grammys. Based on all these comments, it's clear to me slipknot sold out a long time ago. Iowa was their last great album, the last album they did before selling out, and being watered down, radio metal.

[@fnxdown16]

@@metalmacabre9991 uh that's what happens when you work for the man. At least they're free to do whatever they want now.

Best reaction to songs in YT, hands down

[@elixdrums]

Love your reaction videos. Especially to SlipknoT. Check out ‘Solway Firth’. Keep them coming! 🤘🏽

[@retroboog8973]

I remember when this first came out and people thought this song was about Joey Jordison who just got let go (fired) from SlipKnoT.

[@wolfpackshadow3]

Dude it was my senior year when the gray chapter came out I could not stop listening to this song it’s been my fucking favorite song ever since goddamnit I remember getting pissed off because I couldn’t watch the video smh but anyway it still rocks 🤘🤘🤘

[@lawrencefine5020]

[@unsainted804]

@HeartSupport I really like your emotions and analyzes of slipknot songs.😍 Since last video you analyzed a song from the second album - iowa❤. I would like to see an analysis of other songs from this album - “Disasterpiece”, “People=shit”, “Everything ends”, because these are real heavy slipknot❤ and there is something to look of lyrics and music. But I would also like to analyze other cool and interesting songs from the 3rd album😍 - “Opium of the People”, “The Nameless”, and my favorite song “Scream”. "All we ever sacrificed has paid" ❤

[@andrewemison4027]
